Russell Simins Live With the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Check out this video of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion performing “Strange Baby” live at Brooklyn’s Red Lotus Room this past June 8. According to brooklynvegan.com, the event was taped for a pilot of a TV show tentatively titled The Birthday Party, which was conceived to be “American Bandstand meets Soul Train in a loft with underground music.” The clip features a lot of quick cuts and some special effects, but there are some fun glances at Simins, who recently posted a blog at moderndrummer.com. The studio version of “Strange Baby” is included on the Blues Explosion’s new album, Meat and Bone.
